The Herringbone Trail Cowl offers an easy take on the popular herringbone pattern. The cabled pattern is inspired by the majestic Colorado mountains and the thrilling trails they offer, taking the knitter on a similar adventure (but without the chance of meeting a bear). This cowl is warm for chilly outings but light enough that you might just keep it on inside.
